Seems like there's little overlap between the Truck as a status symbol and Tesla as a status symbol crowd.

Seems like there's little overlap between the Truck as a status symbol and Tesla as a status symbol crowd.
- gottorf 3y agoI can see enough overlap; just see the recent trend of "off-road capable" vehicles in all shapes and sizes. Many people with high-paying jobs in cities who never drive off the pavement spend extra money to buy e.g. a Crosstrek Wilderness over a Corolla, or a Wrangler Rubicon over an Escape, or a G-wagen over a Highlander. That same mindset could lead one to desire the Cybertruck.
- treis 3y agoThose aren't trucks, though. They're glorified hatchbacks and are essentially cars with more storage room. A truck with an open bed is much less practical for city life. I've seen some concepts with glass covers for the bed. That makes it more like the crossover SUVs. If they do something like that then I can see it.
- Apocryphon 3y agoWonder if the Rivian has tapped into the overlap between that two.
